What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative, patient-centered role applying evidence-based psychotherapy, supporting vulnerable populations, and offering opportunities for clinical growth and interdisciplinary teamwork.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience in individual, couple, family and group psychotherapy, trained in cognitive-behavioral, systemic and trauma-focused approaches. I provide tailored assessment, diagnosis and treatment focused on emotional, mental and social well-being.

I have worked in private practice and clinical settings including psychiatry, geriatrics and addictions, delivering crisis intervention, therapeutic programs and interdisciplinary care. I also supported academic and vocational interns and participated in community mental health initiatives.

My background includes doctoral study in psychology and a clinical specialization, complemented by professional training in psychotherapy modalities, crisis intervention, and technical skills such as C#, HTML/CSS and STATA. I combine clinical competence with communication, organization and teamwork strengths.

I seek to contribute to a collaborative, patient-centered workplace where I can apply evidence-based interventions, support vulnerable populations (including seniors), and continue professional growth in clinical practice and digital health applications.
